Chapter 602 Leaving Beijing and going to Liangzhou
After leaving Yudu Mountain, Wei Changtian returned to Wei's house under the rays of the setting sun.
Yang Liushi was chatting with Li Zimu in the courtyard. When she saw him coming back, she stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Sir, why did you come back so early? I thought you were going to discuss with Ning Wenjun until late."
"Something happened over there in Xinfeng."
Wei Changtian shook his head and walked into the main hall: "We haven't finished the discussion yet."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Hey, Xu Suisui got involved with Buddhism..."
"..."
While drinking tea, I briefly told Yang Liushi the information about "Guanyin's reincarnation".
Although the latter was surprised after hearing this, he was not too worried.
"It's a good thing that Miss Xu can invite Buddhists to help."
"In this way, Xinfeng may be able to defend it."
"Who knows."
Wei Changtian pouted: "Ignore her, she has nothing to do with us for the time being anyway."
"OK."
Yang Liushi nodded slightly, and seeing that Wei Changtian's expression seemed to be a little off, he hesitated for a moment and asked again.
"Sir, what else happened besides that?"
"..."
Good guy, Yang Liushi's sixth sense is also quite keen.
Wei Changtian made a complaint in his heart, but Wei Changtian didn't hide it, sighed and said:
"Well, after leaving the palace, I went to Yumaw Mountain again."
"Fish Maw Mountain?"
Yang Liushi was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something.
On the Double Ninth Festival two years ago, she was also at Yudu Mountain as a "bait", and she also asked Wei Changtian who was the person killed by Xiao Feng on the carriage.
At that time, Wei Changtian replied that one was Xiao Feng's woman and the other was Xiao Feng's savior.
so......
"Sir, do you feel ashamed of those two people?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian took a sip of tea and said, "In any case, it was me who ordered them to be put on the carriage."
"At that time, I just felt that they wanted to help Xiao Feng, and they were my enemies. Death would not be a pity."
"But then I thought about it. They actually didn't do anything wrong. At least..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian shook his head and ended the topic on his own.
Yang Liushi looked at him softly, without offering any comfort.
Both of them knew that what had happened had already happened and could not be changed no matter what, so there was no point in thinking about it.
Just like that, the room fell into silence.
But just a moment later, Yang Liushi suddenly smiled and said:
"Keke, sir, I always feel that you are different from others."
"Sometimes you are cruel and ruthless, and sometimes you are very kind."
"How can ordinary people be like you?"
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "Then do you think it is better to be cruel or kind?"
"The slave family thinks this is the best for the young master."
Yang Liushi slowly stopped laughing, looked into Wei Changtian's eyes and said seriously:
"What I said is true."
"..."
Seeing Yang Liushi suddenly become so serious, Wei Changtian couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't say anything, just turned his head and looked at the small courtyard outside the house.
The breeze blows up the sunset, creating a soft tranquility.
...
...
...
Two days later, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Today is the Lantern Festival, a day for family reunion.
Although the enemy is at hand, there is still a festive atmosphere in the capital, and the faces of passers-by are a little more smiling.
During the day, Wei Changtian and Ning Wenjun finalized the last few things to fight against the enemy in the palace. At night, he went home for a reunion dinner, and then took Yang Liushi and Li Zimu into the carriage waiting outside the door.
From the 11th to the 15th, he had stayed in the capital for five days, and all the things he planned to do were completed.
Of course, Wei Changtian can wait until early tomorrow morning before setting off.
But the news that came back from Dajue an hour ago made him decide not to wait any longer and set off for Liangzhou immediately.
[At midnight tomorrow, Jue and Ji will send their troops southward, with about 800,000 enemies coming]
really.
As expected, the four countries did advance the time for the uprising after learning that Fengning had stopped civil strife.
It is roughly estimated that they will need to march for about a month to reach Liangzhou.
This means that Daning still has one month to deploy its defenses.
One month is not long or short.
Since Wei Changtian has nothing to do if he continues to stay in the capital, he might as well go to Liangzhou early to make preparations.
After all, he not only had to win this war, but he also had to win it neatly.
"..."
"Sir, there are only 800,000 people in the two countries, which is less than we expected."
The carriage drove slowly and slowly on the streets of the city, with bright light filling both sides. Although it was not as good as Shuzhou City on New Year's Eve, today's Daning Capital City was still lively and festive.
Yang Liushi's face flickered in and out of light, like a fairy secretly descending from the sky while the moon was full.
However, her expression was quite serious, and she was seriously analyzing the future war.
"I just don't know what the fighting power of the two countries is."
"Especially Dajue, they are following the path of witchcraft and Gu, so they may have some different methods."
"It would be best if we could find a few people who know witchcraft to ask questions in advance to avoid improper response after the war starts..."
"..."
It has to be said that Yang Liushi's military strategy was not in vain. At this time, he was able to tell a lot of things clearly and logically.
Wei Changtian, on the other hand, listened and discussed with her from time to time. He did not take her words seriously just because she was a woman.
Generally speaking, the two of them are relatively optimistic about the situation of this "anti-aggression war".
Although the total military strength of Daning and Shu was only over 500,000, they did suffer in terms of numbers.
However, I felt that the armies of Ji and Li had to cross the Tianshan Mountains to reach Liangzhou, and they would be exhausted along the way.
More importantly, their logistical supplies must be very difficult.
As long as Liangzhou can hold on for more than a month, the opponent's logistics will have problems.
And the longer it goes on, the bigger the problem will be.
As the defender of the city, Wei Changtian is still confident that he can hold on to Liangzhou for a long time.
Even he is not satisfied with just "defense".
If the time is right, it is not impossible to take the initiative...
Of course, the above are all just "paper talks" at the moment, and the specific situation will definitely have to wait until we get to Liangzhou before we can discuss it carefully with Han Zhao, Du Chang and others.
But at least after learning that only 800,000 people would come from the two countries, the atmosphere in the carriage was quite relaxed.
In this way, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi talked all the time. Li Zimu next to him didn't know how to fight, so naturally he couldn't interrupt. After listening for a while, he quietly opened the car curtain and looked out.
Thousands of doors are unlocked and thousands of lights are lit, and the capital is moved in the middle of the first lunar month.
At this time, the carriage was about to arrive at the North City Gate. Since Pingchangfang, the busiest place during festivals, was also in the north of the city, the festive atmosphere around it became even more intense.
Li Zimu had never seen such a lively scene before. He was both curious and longing at the moment, so he couldn't help but watch for a while.
It wasn't until the tall city wall appeared in front of her and the crowd around her gradually became sparse that she withdrew her gaze and reluctantly closed the car curtain.
"Well?"
Looking back, Li Zimu suddenly realized that Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi had stopped talking for some time, and were both looking at him with a smile.
"Mr. Gongzi..."
She lowered her head in embarrassment, wanting to admit her mistake.
However, Wei Changtian waved his hand and said with a smile:
"It's okay, you can see more if you want."
"Um......"
Li Zimu was quite upright. When he heard what Wei Changtian said, he actually turned around after responding.
She opened the car curtain slightly, and there happened to be a firework dragging its long golden tail into the night sky, and then burst into golden light with a loud noise.
"boom!!!"
Listening to this huge noise, looking at the sparks blooming in the night and the crowd raising their heads with smiles in the firelight, Li Zimu opened his mouth slightly, feeling that this should be the most lively scene in the world.
And now Li Zimu doesn't know that she will see a scene that is almost the same as now again in a month.
The same loud noise, the same fireworks.
But at that time, there were no smiles on the faces of the people standing under the fire.
